A perfect week for VIP Wildlife Encounters!

At this time of year the holiday hustle and bustle has subsided and most kids are back at school. Park visitors comprise couples (either with no children or with youngsters, as well as wildlife enthusiasts, overseas holiday makers and grandparents with their grandchildren. They’re here making the most of the beautiful autumn sunshine! This week, so far, the weather has been really perfect for being out and about interacting with the animals. As previous Park visitors will know, all our guests get up close to wildlife, but those having a VIP Wildlife Encounter have an extra special time! I’ve included a few images taken during some of the Wildlife Encounters so far this week:

Above: Dan Saney and Abel Tao from London who enjoyed a Meerkat Encounter on Monday. The Meerkats were particularly busy during this encounter – digging and exploring all round their two special guests. Dan and Abel heard about our VIP Wildlife Experiences through rave reviews on Trip Advisor!

Chris Murray and Jemma Lumber (above) enjoyed their Penguin Encounter on Tuesday 18th September very much – they’re both ‘animal-orientated people’ and so had some excellent interactive time with the Penguins!

Elena Gomez Lastra was treated to a Penguin Encounter this afternoon (Weds, 19th Sept) by her friend, Victor. Elena lives in Madrid; she and Victor are enjoying a few days holiday on the Island. This was a complete surprise for Elena who absolutely loves Penguins and was delighted to have close-up time with our Humboldts (even though some of them are a little temperamental at the moment!)
